Get this BEAUTIFUL Wolfgang Special Guitar for under $1,000, with case included and FREE SHIPPING! The street price with a case is almost $1,300!The Wolfie Special -- Designed and Refined by a Guitar Demigod!The EVH Eddie Van Halen Wolfgang Special is an exceptional high-end electric guitar, designed and refined by one of the greatest guitar players of all time. No mere collector's item, the Wolfgang Special was designed with the needs of true musicians in mind. This Wolfie combines a lightning-fast neck design with two proprietary EVH humbucking pickups to create a guitar that will inspire you to a whole new level of musicianship.Because Perfection is a Continual ProcessThe EVH Wolfgang Special is a simplified adaptation of the celebrated EVH USA Wolfgang, with a solid basswood body and a beautiful arched maple top. The neck is carved from a single piece of high-grade quarter-sawn maple. The fingerboard is crafted from maple or ebony depending on the finish you choose, with a 12-16 inch compound-radius cut -- which means that every note will intonate evenly at every point in the fretboard, even through your most savage bends and tremolos. It is set with 22 frets with "vintage" size specifications. You'll also feel immediately comfortable with the standard 25.5-inch scale length. The nut is a Floyd Rose R2 locking nut, measuring 1.625 inches across.Ingenious Hardware DesignsThe EVH Wolfgang Special lends itself to expressive playing, with its EVH-branded Floyd Rose authentic locking tremolo system -- complete with the pre-installed D-Tuna drop tuning system designed by Edward Van Halen himself. The EVH D-Tuna is a patented design that puts a string locking screw switch on the saddle of the lowest note on the bridge. With this, you can simply flip the switch to drop the E string down a whole step to D, so you can fret your power chords even faster. When you want to switch back to a standard tuning, just flip the switch and you're back with no loss to tuning stability on the string. A simple but ingenious innovation! It's really no wonder that so many great guitarists have been using the D-Tuna since it was introduced in the early 1990s. A set of black EVH-branded tuning machines completes the top-shelf hardware on this beast.Humbuckers Reconsidered from the Ground UpThe electronics on your EVH Wolfgang Special are the result of no less innovation. The design process for these custom humbuckers allegedly went through more than 80 prototypes before EVH himself approved them for release. Through a clean amp, you'll marvel at their sparkling response, rich in overtones and perfectly suited to a heavily chorused clean sound. Then, as you apply more and more crunch to your signal, you'll have your breath taken away by the character these pickups impart to sustaining leads and shred sounds. The two Bourns pots onboard offer you a wide spectrum to craft the tone and level you need, and a standard 3-position switch lets you combine or isolate the pickups.
